If you are referring to zip lock style...use the better brands and make sure they are the FREEZER ones....on a long cook double bag the product. The cheaper bags always split down the side seam for me..

The only time I've had a bag failure was using a "Zip Lock" Freezer bags. And that only happened once last year. I still use them now and then but I'm a bit leery. My "go to" bag is the Food Saver bags/roll. I get them at Costco. You can probably find less expensive Food Saver type bags on Amazon.

Personally I use only 3 or 4 mil, vacuum bags, chamber vac bags are less expensive and you can clip them on the side of your cooking vessel, so you don't need to have a chamber vac to use them; however I do have one so I purchase 1000 at a time in various sizes. When I started out I used name brand Ziploc Freezer bags and they work fine for temperatures below 158° F, at higher temperatures the seams can fail.

These (and the larger size) rolls are what I use to make any size bag I need. If you have a vac sealer that is.

If you are not going to seal them use the chamber vac bags they are dirt cheap and much stronger than the Food Saver Bags....
